Sand production in a well causes restricted production or complete loss of production due to sanding of well bore. There are several methods of sand control but most of the technologies require heavy hardware and tools thus making the cost of new well very high. Chemical sand consolidation can be an alternative to traditional techniques for poorly consolidated formations. The present studies are carried out to develop a suitable sand control technique for weakly consolidated oil/gas reservoirs using indigenously developed chemicals. The concept is based on the fact that water soluble polymers/chemicals have a strong tendency to adsorb on the surface of rock, thus binding the loose sand. However, the permeability of the formation is maintained by injecting oil soon after injection of chemicals. In order to develop this technology, a laboratory study was carried out to evaluate the chemicals for s...

As one of the least developed countries, Yemen is lagging behind in the adoption of ICT, being faced with many challenges, limited resources, weak infrastructure, and a high student population, the focus of this research will be on Yemeni Institutes of Higher Education and the role of the Yemeni norms and culture that may affect online learning use in Yemen. This conceptual article extends the Delone & Mclean Information System Success Model (DMISM) with compatibility as a moderating variable. The anticipated findings will provide a guideline for both policy makers and university management. The theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

Firstly, it helps in better utilization of resources and capacities and promotes a more open culture in the government which leads to good governance. Secondly, it creates a better image of the government which builds trust amongst its citizens. Another major advantage of innovation is that it has a domino effect wherein a successful innovation in one sector opens the doors for innovation in other sectors. One successful innovation leads to a series of innovations which is leads to a favourable environment. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of knowledge management in term of knowledge development, knowledge sharing, and access learning on the organizational innovation within the public sector in the United Arab Emirates. This study has adopted questionnaires to collect data. PLS (Partial Least Squares) SEM-VB (Structural Equation Modelling-Variance Based) was employed to assess...

The data was collected from 539 employees of State owned enterprises (SoE) of Abu Dhabi and analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) via SmartPLS 3.0. There were two main results: first, project management assets (value and imitability) have a positive impact on employee performance (quality); second, organizational culture (individualism) has a negative impact on employee performance (quality). Theoretical and practical implications are also provided.

The theory of technology readiness can be used for measuring the readiness of an organisation to adapt big data. Structural equation modelling is used in this study through AMOS to analyse 381 valid questionnaires to evaluate the proposed model built on the Theory of Technology Readiness to determine the factors that could affect big data adoption. This research concentrates on one of Abu Dhabi’s public organisations (ADPO). In this model, the key independent constructs are comparable to Innovativeness, Optimism, Insecurity and Discomfort pertaining to these organisations’ readiness for exploiting this massive data amounts. The dependent constructs are based on the adopted big data’s readiness in ADPO. The relations between the different constructs are defined in this research.

A model is proposed based on Delone & Mclean information system success model with considering the literature and the context of the study. Overall quality is proposed to be a second-order construct which includes three different aspects of quality; system quality, information quality, and service quality. In addition, innovativeness is proposed as a moderating variable which may control the relationship between the overall quality and actual usage of smart government. Results indicated that overall quality significantly influences the actual usage of smart government. The overall quality explains 44.7% of the variance in actual usage. Furthermore, the impact of the overall quality on the actual use is moderated by the innovativeness. This work enhances the insight into the significance of innovativeness in using smart government services.

The development of m-banking is due to the advantages of conducting banking transactions. However, when individuals decide to use m-banking, they will also consider the system’s weaknesses. Therefore, this study examines TAM in increasing m-banking adoption through transaction convenience and perceived risk. This study proposes a conceptual framework by exploring the factors of ease and benefit of a system. If the individual feels the comfort and benefits of a system, the individual will feel the transactions convenient and be interested in adopting m-banking. The adoption process is supported by the guarantee of bank security against financial transactions accessed through m-banking. This study contributes to developing the technology acceptance model with transaction convenience and perceived risk to increase intention and actual usage of m-banking.

The Republic of Indonesia is a part of the ASEAN country that needs improvement of E-Government execution because it is still low and under the country of Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The low-level of E-Government employment in the Republic of Indonesia needs to be examined by analyzing Internet usage penetration and identifying the cause of low E-Government adoption in the Republic of Indonesia. E-Government becomes an exciting issue in improving good governance, and this study will discuss the conceptual model in supporting E-Government’s appropriation in the Republic of Indonesia. This paper explores the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the role of trust in creating the interest of citizens to practice E-Government”.
